French Papers to the 1 ith inst arrived this morn ing, but they contain no news of importance : they are nearly filled with details of the arrival' of 13uo , NAPARTS and MARIA LOUISA at Paris, and of the en lertain went which the City of Paris is about to give them. • His Royal iligliness the Duke of KENT has thought it necessary, in consequence of the state , mentk contained in Mrs. CLARK•E's Book, to publish • a Declaration in vindication of his own -character. His Royal Highness-has also published the Answer s given by Captain Donn, to. a series of Questions proposed to, him in July last, relative to the Pro ceedings against the Duke of YORK, in which hei in the most distinct and unequivocal manner, asserts, that the Duke of KENT did not, directly or • indi rectly, encourage or sanction the Proceedingi against the Duke of YORK. The Declaration of the Duke of KENT, upon such a subject, or upon any sub ject, must, of course, obtain implicit credit; and we rejoice most sincerely to find that the foul insinuations thrown .out against his Royal Highness were wholly destitute of founda tion. But though the Duke of KENT has complete ly removed every possibility of suspicion*rith re-• spect to himself, yet it by no means follows that his Royal Highness's name was not tied by• others, without his knowledge, to forward their own views. Vpon that point Capt. DODD and Mrs. CLARKE are direcily at issue. Either Mrs. CLARKE has advanced the most gross and infamous 'falseho'ods respeCting Captain Dom), or that Gentleman did constantly represent rho Doke of KENC to her as most anxious to promote the Proceedings against the Duke of YORK. Upon this point we, of course, cannot undertake to decide ; but it is of import;.. ante that the faat should be ascertained ; because, if Mrs. CLARKE has accused Captain DODD with out foundation, it is proper that these charges shoUld be refuted, and that Gentleman's . character vindi cated; if, on the other hand, eiptain Dmoo did (as Mrs. CLARKE says he did) make use of the Duke of KENT'S name to encourage the conspiracy against the Duke of YORK, it is necessary that his High ness shouldbe apprized of that circumstance. We shall now advert to some of the assertions of Mrs. CLARICE, in order to spew the necessity of- some further explidation being given upon the subjea. In page,46 of her book, Mrs. C. says, that Mr. WARDLE (old her ghat" he and Alajor DoDD would hold themselves - responsible for the Duke of KENT giving five thousand pounds, besides four hundred a year secured to me, my debts all di:charged, and a house furnished in any style ofelegance I pleascd.." She then gives an account of her celebrated tour to the Martell° Towers, accompanied by Mr. WAR.. D LE, Captain DODD, and Mr. GLE'NNIE.—In page 63, Vol. 1. after oh,eritig, that Captain Dow) had ex pressed a wish to be introduced to Mr. TAYLOR, the Shoemaker, of whom the public heard so much in the character of the Morocco Ambassador.- 7 • Mrs. C. says, I introducedDonD to the lady's shoemaker, as a trade.iman, under a tal,,e name ; and in order that they should soon b6come fairr,liar with each other, I informed DoDD that Mr. l'Ay.t.ott was an excellent draught-player, and not a little fond of being consi dered a prOficient in 'this' science, which produced an immediate exertion upon the draught-board. The Ambassador soon found gha t his companion could not play, which rendered _the game fiat and unin teresting to both of them. DODD was therefore driven to another expedient fo obtain, a flee-• dons of conversation, and accordingly asked Mr. TAYLOR to take . a glass of brandy and water, which he made nearly all brandy, and forced it upon him as fast as possible. This (or a time had the desired dice, as it made the Ambassador very loquacious in his answer.; to Major Dom) with re spea to the Duke of •YortK's affairs." • In page 68 lie sayS— " Major DODD was constantly going to and from the Duke of KENT, at Ealing, to me at Westbourne Place, on !the business of displacing his Royal BrOther." Now, after the Duke of KENT'S declaration, we know that the above assertion, as far as his Royal Highness is concerned, cannot be true; but the ipiestion is, did Capt. DODD tell Mrs. C. that he came from the Duke of KENT ? We might multiply our quotations without end; but there are two or three which are too important to be passed over. Pays-- In page 81, VOl. 1, Mrs. CLAratE " It being necessary to satisfy me 7 -that ALior Dom) had not deCeived With respect to the autho rity lie bad from this high personage (the Duke of KENT) tolenguge and remunerate my services in the House of Commons, the Major brought me many of the Duke's Lettt!rs to read, not only with respell to myself, but upon other matters." In page 85, afterimentioning the speech made by the Duke of KENT in the House of Lords, in which his Royal Highness the thkke of KENT profeksed the highest respect for his ROyal brother, Mrs. CLA RKE says, she " Asked . Captain Dom) hoW the Duke could make such a speech, after, all he had done against the Duke of YORK ? pub,' said DCDD, that was political : appearances, you, know, my little lady, must be kept up, and my Royal friend says, that a nian is never considered guiltY till he is proved so." Now if this be all invention, on the part of Mrs. CLARKE, a more serious caluMny against Captain DODD cannot be imagitiPd. If that G.:ntlemAn did use the expressions imputed to hiM,,,what are we to say to, the following answer given. by Captain Dom) to the queries proposed to Mtn by the Duke of KENT in July last ? Q. « Have you ever, to your recollection, express ed yourself, either by word or in writing, either toCo-, lonel WARDLE or Mrs.CLARKE, or ally other pvrscm connected - with the investigation on the Duke of Yonk's conduct, in any way that could give Ahem reason to suppose that I approved of the measure, or would countenance those concerned in bringing it forward ?—A. Never. But I have, on the contrary, expressed myself that your Royal:Highness would have a very different feeling. (Signed T. DoDD.)" Between Mrs. CLARKE and Capt. DODD, We can not decide, but it is quite clear that by, one or other of them the Duke of KENT'S name has been used, without his Royal Highness's knowledge ) , for •the most culpable purposes. There was no Bulletin issued this day upon the state of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and they are to he discontinued, in future. During his Royal High ness's confinement sinc e hi s attack, Mr. Plups, his Majesty's. oculist, has ttequently sat up with him The Doctors w.ll not allow his Royal , Highness.to ride out yet. Yesterday more ing his MAJESTY, Princesses A0"-; 6usTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by Ladies CHAS LEI and COLLIER, General Ferzaoy and Mapr PRICE, went to St. George's. Chapel, and heard di - -; vine service. The Royal Party afterwards return.4d . to the Palace. At• three o'clock his MAJESTY vi sited Princess.Amei.ta, who, we have the pleasure to say, had on Saturday a - comfortable night, and is a little better. The Superieure, French privateer, commanded by an Englishman, named AGAR, lately captured otT Port-au-Plate, St. Domingo, a British schooner from Vera Cruz, for Nassau, with 70,000 dollars; and three days after captured a Spanish ship, with forty fugitives, from Cadiz, proceeding to settle in Cuba, and having on board 140,600 dollars in cash, and a valuable cargo. After plundering the Spanish ship, AGAR gave her up to the passengers, with permission to continue their voyage.. The Superieure and her prize proceeded to St. Bartholomew's, where the money, &c: was landed, and distributed, under strong grounds of suspicion that the Swedish Governor was 'a party in the, transaEtion. A British frigate and a loKig of war were sent to St. Bartho lomew's to demand. the surrender of the Superieure, together with the restoration of the booty she had made ; and,' on the Governor 'refusing to comply, the brig was, dispatched to Admiral cOCHRANE tor instructions, while the frigate closely blockaded the port, and it was supposed the privateer would be taken by force. The Governor was, however, fitting the Superieure as a cutter, to carry dispatches to Sweden, and had' given the command of her to Captain J. PORTELE. His participation in the depre dation of this vessel has been satisfactorily establish ed, io consequence of the privateer having captured MI American schooner with a valuable cargo, which was landed on the beach at St. John's, and delivered 'into the hands of the Governor. A Resolution has been submitted to the American House of Representatives against Generil Commander in Chief of the Army, tor having corruptly received money from the Spanish GOvernment, and for being an accomplice with Colonel BURR, in a project to dismember the United States. The Recruiting Service, both for Regiments of the Line and for the Militia, has 'lately been carried on with very great success. A considerable number of Americans have been discharged from our ships of war in the West Indies, in obedience ti orders from the Admiralty. Some disturrance took 'place on Monday, in a. re giment of Local Militia quartered at Stamford. Two of the privates having got intoxicated at their guar ters, and absented theMselves from parade, were taken into custody. In the evening a party of their comrades, at the instigation of some of the towns people, went in a tumultuous manner to the guard house .1 and liberated the two in confinement. The proceeding necessarily became the subject of investi gation; and at a Court-Martial, held the following day, the ringleader of the mutineers was sentenced to receive 200 lashes. In consequence however of his contrition' and previous good charatler, Lord BROWNLOW remitted the. punishment. The con dud of the corps has since been most exemplary. Mr. C. Turner, of Edin Taggart Luss, in Wales, lately died in the Stith year of his ave., having lived to see the daughter of the daughter :f his daughter's daughter, being live generations, NAVAL NEW PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 17.—Came in yesterday his Majesty's ship Fawn from the West Indies.

His Majesty's ship Grasshopper, for Halifax and Quebec, is now under weigh, with a light breeze from the Eastward, but it is supposed she will come to again and wait the event of the morning. PLY MOUTH, JUNE Is.—Arrived the sloop Taniar, FROAD, from Lisbon, with fruit, for this port, she brings intelligence that the French army were re- treating., Arrived the IPolf Revenue cutter from a cruize, And the Hope, WARE, from London, JUNE 16.—Arrived his Majesty's brig Scylla, Captain ATCHESON, from Newfoundland, which place she left on the 241 h ult. ; on her passage she fell in with several Islands of ice, which materially retarded her progress.

His Majesty's ship Rosario is expelled to sail to morrow with convoy to the Baltic. Boston, Charleston, Baltimore, and Nortolk Pa- pers, to the 14th ult. have been received. They furnish some articles of interest. The John Adams frigate had not reached the American waters at their depart6re, but was looked for with impatience. The dispatches from General ARMSTRONG; carried out by the Juno, were only to the 28th of February., and consequently were not - (a9 has been stated) du plicates of those forwarded by the John Adums ; General ARMSTRONG transmitted by the JunO copies of two- letters which, he had received from the Duke of CADORE (Champagny), on the snh= jed of the seizure. and confiscation of American ships, in which he says, " The Americans having, without any ground of , complaint against France, prohibited French vessels from entering their ports, on pain of confiscation, his Imperial Majesty felt it necessary to direct That American vessels should be treated in a reciprocal manner, not only in his. own country, but in all those countries under his influence, and that accordingly in Holland, Spain, Italy, and, Naples, American vessels have been . seized because the Americans had seized French vessels, or made them liable to seizure.' M. CHAN PAGN Y then observes, that They (the United States) ought, either to repeal their declaration of indepenaence, or to take measures to prevent their commerce and industry from being taxed by 'the English, which renders them more dependent than Jamaica, which has, at least, an Assembly of Repre sentatives, and its privileges.:—And 'concludes his letter by assuring General ARMSTRONG of the friend ly intentions. of France towards the United States, and'the favourable disposition of the Emperor. to wards American, commerce, Should the policy of its Government permit him to indulge that sentiment." Another Letter is stated, in the Baltimore Paper, to have been addressed by the Duke of CADORE to General ARMSTRONG, in which he upbraids • the- American Executive with wantof dignity and ener gy, on the occasion of their difference with Mr. JACKSON JACKSON," he says, should have bern sent off, and a confiscation of British pro perty and a declaration of watought to have fol lowvd." 4A7't4 SINE We have had a series of t»usical prn - frrnall which constituted an liartm , nic frvival o f no Lott" nary degree of merit. art ere v''O r judiciously . seleCted from the works of Fl Pi' MPZ A HT, aid HAYDOI3, and they were support' by the exe. tiot:s of , BICAUAIVI, BELLAMY, MOGBATI4I GARBUT, islr.
